Leuthardt, M.D. is a neurosurgeon who is currently an associate professor with the Department of Neurological Surgery and the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Washington University in St. Louis. He is Director of the Center for Innovation in Neuroscience and Technology. He received his B.S. in Biology and Theology at St. Louis University in 1995 and received his M.D. at the University of Pennsylvania's School of Medicine in 1999. He went on to complete his training at Barnes Jewish Hospital and Washington University in St. Louis in 2005 and went on to pursue a combined fellowship in epilepsy and spinal surgery at the University of Washington in Seattle in 2006. His research has focused on neuroprosthetics - devices linked to the brain that may restore function to patients with motor disabilities. His work in the field of neuroprosthetics and neurosurgical devices has yielded him numerous accolades as a scientist, a neurosurgeon, and an inventor. In 2004, for his work he was awarded the James O'Leary Prize for Outstanding Neuroscience Research at Washington University in St Louis. In 2007, the Academy of Science in St Louis awarded him the Innovator Award for his research and translation efforts. He was given one of the highest acknowledgments in his field by being presented with the Annual Award of the American Academy of Neurological Surgery in Berlin, Germany. On a national level, he was named one of the Top Young Innovators by MIT's magazine Technology Review. The magazine names 100 individuals under the age of 35 each year whose work in technology has global impact. Dr. Leuthardt uses an integrated approach by employing multiple domains of expertise ranging from biomedical engineering, clinical neurosurgery, mathematical modeling, complex signal analysis, and computer programming. In addition to numerous peer reviewed publications, Leuthardt has over 800 patents on file with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.

While association studies for the mapping of genetic variants that influence complex traits have primarily focused on populations of European descent, more recent studies involve populations with admixed ancestry, such as African Americans and Hispanics. Genetic association studies in ancestrally admixed populations offer exciting opportunities for the identification of novel variants that underlie trait diversity. At the same time, the heterogeneous genetic background and dependencies among sample individuals from admixed populations, including both ancestry differences and relatedness among sample individuals, pose special challenges for genetic association testing. In these circumstances, it is necessary to devise statistical methods for association mapping that account for the diverse genomes of the sample individuals and are robust in the presence of a variety of complex sample structures. We will present a linear mixed-model score test for genetic association with quantitative traits in admixed populations. We will demonstrate that the method can provide an improvement over existing mixed-model methods in terms of both power and type 1 error in samples from admixed populations. We will also demonstrate the utility of the method with an application to a sample of 3,500 self-identified Hispanics from the Women's Health Initiative study.
